That's bullshit. It's not hard to crank out a standards-compliant web page if your browser tells you where what you wrote is broken. Certainly a lot easier than cranking out a web page that looks good in a bunch of browsers that all have their own idea of what HTML means. If you think that browsers just made things work, you never tried to build a web page that actually displayed correctly in both IE and Netscape at the time.
